Today is a school day. I'm a little tired after helping them with their experiment yesterday. It's fruitful, but the unexpected guest from far away is really a surprise. They were really just there to see how the situation on Amleth is currently, so that their king and queen can be safe during the conference. The conference is scheduled for the end of the year, but preparations are already well underway. It's about 5 months away. 

Today, the researcher will install the sound version of the Magic Motion Orb in the village that does not yet have a Magic Motion Orb. That way, they won't send a representative to listen to it for them. They can listen to it themselves. It's still expensive, but compared to the Magic Motion Orb, it's a better alternative. I hope they can find a way to make a better and cheaper version in the future.

"And that's all for this class. Remember, this is an important topic, and it will probably be on your exam" [Teacher Tiara].

A break at noon. We take our lunch together as usual. As usual, we talk about various things, from the topic we just discussed to our performance at the opera house. Speaking of the performance

"Can't you unveil it for us, please" [Marianne]

"There she goes again" [Tio].

"Marianne is really passionate when it comes to Opera House" [Adnan]

"Because it's so good!" [Marianne]

Neloufa and I will be in a lead role for the first piece. For the main play, Neloufa will be the supporting actor while I will be helping in the background with technical stuff. I already have my family's permission and they are fully supportive.

"And then there's the Succubus Cultural Festival. Dear mother still got a complaint from the Ministry of Finance about it" [Kara].

"The two dukes who didn't support it really gave Mother headaches after headaches" [Mara].

"Poor Aunt Amleth... I'm trying my best, and I'm sure the people will support it, but it looks like there's still something I haven't done" [Diana].

"No. I think you have done everything you can. After all, this is just adult politics" [Marianne].

"Marianne is right. This is just their tactic. On the one hand, the Ministry of Finance has a certain influence on the income of the country, so nobles and knights alike tend to support them" [Kara].

"On the other hand, as citizens of Amleth, supporting all races without discrimination is what makes us Amlethian. You can't just support Salin and not give other races a chance to celebrate what they want" [Mara].

"Can't you do something about it?" [Neloufa]

"I'm not sure" [Kara].

We try to brainstorm, but quickly run out of ideas. This is frustrating, so

"Let's ask Saintess Rumia, Teacher Tiara, and Princess Siti. I'll just send them a message with my magic first" [Diana].

"Better than just coming up with nothing" [Tio].

The bell rings, signifying that the next class is about to begin. This class will be with the muscle teacher who keeps saying how wonderful the new Magic Motion Orb is. The whole class has their attention on me as they ask me to explain the principle behind it. I can't go into much detail because there's a part that I didn't understand, but I'm surprised that the muscle teacher can explain it in such detail. Did he persistently ask Master Merlin about it, or did his friend from the Magic Department tell him about it? 

After class

"Idea to get the Ministry of Finance to support the festival... Do you want to brainwash them?" [Merlin]

"Please don't" [Tiara]

"The thing is, I'm not even sure if Master Merlin is joking or serious" [Princess Siti].

"She's definitely serious" [Dana]

"Father is staying neutral, but I'm sure he's actually in support" [Liya].

"The Church can extend their support, although I'm not sure how the Ministry of Finance will react" [Saintess Rumia].

"My father couldn't say much... We are just a lowly noble family" [Veronica].

Dana's group and Master Merlin also join the discussion. The more brainstorming the better.

"If only Kara and Mara could show their support..." [Diana]

"Actually, can't they?" [Dana]

"I'm afraid that would only complicate things" [Mara].

"How so?" [Neloufa]

"The royalty and their ministry not being on the same page, definitely a recipe for disaster" [Kara]

"Are you sure?" [Merlin]

"We are" [Kara]

"Have you tried it?" [Merlin]

"We don't..." [Kara]

"But isn't it the obvious result?" [Mara]

"Besides, we are only princesses" [Kara]

"..." [Tiara, Princess Siti]

The two princesses from The Empire and Emas show complicated expressions.

"Princess Kara and Mara, how about you just try it" [Princess Siti].

"Of course, consult Her Highness first, but I'm sure Her Highness will help you as well" [Teacher Tiara]

"But what if we complicate things?" [Kara]

"It will definitely be worse for Dear Mother if we mess things up..." [Mara]

"You two really are Little Amleth's daughter... Sweet memories when she was always overthinking, not that she isn't now" [Merlin].

Master Merlin makes a similar expression when Miss Eisheth sees the succubus under her care. Is that what you call motherly? Well, I'm sure it is. It's the same expression when Sister Khamisah and Valerie see the orphans.

"Whatever happens, I'll always support you. I am your future special knight" [Diana].

"I can't just stand by while you two are indecisive. I'll ask my father's permission and help you as well" [Marianne].

"I can't say for sure about my family, but I will lend a phantom hand even if they don't allow it" [Tio].

"Same. It's a shame if a knight can't help those he's supposed to serve" [Adnan].

"I'm just a commoner, but I'll help as much as I can" [Neloufa].

"You guys..." [Kara, Mara]

"There you have it. Just go and ask little Amleth first. Even if she disagrees, I will scold her afterwards and get the permission" [Merlin].

"Again... Please don't"' [Tiara]

"Again... I can't tell if Master Merlin is serious or joking" [Princess Siti].

"Again... I'm pretty sure she is" [Dana].
